FIRST TEAM

F — Mira Houck, Fr., Jefferson Academy: The Jaguars frosh passed the eye test. She is quick, elusive and has the knack of scoring big goals.

F — Caroline Miller, Sr., Erie: Despite the fact she played injured all season, the Tigers senior still scored 22 goals and had 21 assists.

F — Tea Smith, Jr., Fairview: Following in the footsteps of her sister Reci, she has the inane ability to find the back of the net when it is needed the most.

F — Michaela Stark, Sr., Broomfield: The BoCoPreps.com Player of the Year had a goal or an assist in all but three of the Eagles' matches .

MF — Makena Bambei, Sr., Broomfield: Maybe the number what they were last year, but still a settling force in the midfield for the Eagles.

MF — Maddie Kessler, Sr., Mead: Maybe a bit overshadowed by some of the bigger programs in the region, but the CSU-bound Mavericks senior is as solid as they come.

MF — Kailee Stobbe, Jr., Niwot: Versatile Cougars junior led them in scoring and second in assists in a very deep league.

MF — Sierra Szeto, Sr., Fairview: A calming piece in the back of the Knights midfield, was also an easy all Front Range League selection.

D — Kristin Barbour, Sr., Monarch: The anchor of the Coyotes defense will take her game to the next level at Villanova next season.

D — Lexi Dageenakis, Sr., Silver Creek: Earned the honor in the midfield last season, but ever the team player, she moved to the backline to solidify a defense that allowed just 12 goals all season.

D — Morgan Gray, Sr., Holy Family: Epitomized what the Tigers were trying to do and did it well. Was also a big time threat on set pieces offensively.

D — Maddison Hogan, Sr., Centaurus: A stalwart in the back for the Warriors, who coach Mario Bezzina called "One of the best out there." She will continue her playing career at Colorado Christian.

GK — Sophia Chen, Jr., Monarch: Single-handedly kept the Coyotes in a lot of games this season and had the knack for the big athletic save in crucial moments.

Coach of the year — Dayton Owens, Erie: Hard to argue with what Owens has been able to do with the Tigers in two seasons. This year they went 12-4, qualified for the state tournament and gave Evergreen all they wanted in a first round match-up.
